Yeah we didn't have the Best Springs in the Top of the C motor and that was
the limiting factor on RPM.... and I thank you once again for your on site
Recommendations on RPM John.
The Quick change is a Cool Idea... but this is the Camaro... and as such
doesn't really justify the expense... since we are already set up to run
the 9" ford... to include all the appropriate Gear sets for Maxton and
Bville.
Now for the Wind... well We been talking about that a bit and there is No
doubt it Helped a TON.... Now how do I order up the same conditions for an
October Race?
